Judge won’t delay receiver’s takeover of Arizona’s unconstitional prison healthcare system
A federal judge refused to delay the appointment of a receiver to oversee Arizona's prison healthcare system, which has been deemed unconstitutional. The judge ruled that the receiver is necessary to prevent ongoing harm to prisoners, despite the state's arguments against the move. The state has appealed the decision, which is part of a 14-year-old lawsuit.
